Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings, 37th Match LIVE Match
Pitch report: It is pitch number 5 and it will impact the boundary sizes. It is equidistant square but the large straight boundaries are 78 metres. There was not much grass last week when 154 was enough, big change is there is an even covering of grass tonight but it won’t bounce or seam extravagantly. The batters will think it is way better for batting, 154 may not be enough this evening feels Kevin Pietersen.
Jaiswal and Buttler are at the crease. Jaiswal is on strike. Akash Singh will open the attack
So Boult not playing both CSK games due to a niggle. This has forced us to make some changes to our Fantasy Handbook expert XI.
We are all set as the players walk out. Akash Singh has the ball and we are all set. The countdown is done and we are ready. A wide slip for Akash.
